This petition has just been published on another list. The members of the

After some discussion with colleagues of the JNC and elsewhere I've
launched an initiative/petition intended to impact on the outcome of the
NetMundial meeting.  I think the best possible achievable outcome of the
NetMundial meeting would be an affirmation/reaffirmation of the "Internet
as a Global Commons Operating in the Global Public Interest" and the
petition is intended to provide an opportunity for voices globally to
insist that that at least be placed on the table in Sao Paolo.

The petition is available for signing at http://tinyurl.com/nawk9ak

The blogpost introducing and giving the longer rationale for the petition
can be found at http://tinyurl.com/opqwhs4

It would be really great if you could spread this information through your
networks and invite your networks to sign on to the petition or to send
notes directly to the NetMundial secretariat secretariat at netmundial.br with
a copy to me at gurstein at gmail.com
